A1 Konsthall
In this social project, I want to experiment with public space and tame the boundaries of public space and see how to tame society. I want to be able to offer more people the opportunity to be able to influence and change the dynamics that exist and open up our streets for everyone who walks on them.
If you have any ideas on how to use the space or want to be with yourself to exhibit, then contact me at:A1Konsthall@gmail.com

“Peel Me A Grape” @whatcarlysees An exchange with @themantelandmonarch is a fiber sculpture created in honor of and in solidarity with the labor movement and workers’ rights. The form is specifically inspired by the Delano grape strike, which I learned about as a child growing up in Los Angeles. In 1965 in Delano, California, Filipino and Mexican farm workers joined forces to protest low wages, and organized a strike that would last years and bring national attention. The 5 year strike (1965-70) not only resulted in victory for the farmworkers, but also proved that grassroots efforts, consumer boycotts, and community organizing can cause truly significant change. Today, the struggle continues as we work against rising costs and stagnant wages. Much of my work is tediously hand-crafted, and I spend a lot of time thinking about labor. I spent about 40 hours—a full work week—crocheting the grapes, leaf, and vine, out of mercerized cotton thread using a miniscule 1.15mm steel crochet hook. However, when you see my piece, can you tell exactly how much time it took, or how many years of practice it took, or how many hours of research it took? When looking at a bowl of grapes, can you tell that hundreds of hours of labor have gone into them? Workers picked them, transported them, washed them, quality-checked them, packaged them, delivered them, shelved them, scanned them, bagged them, and put them in your cart? Consider that human labor creates and shapes everything that surrounds us, from food to clothing to cars to the environment. We might often feel that we are planning our lives around work, but frankly what we choose for labor is what defines our lives and interactions. Labor is a direct affirmation of human agency.
